Council hears KLJ progress report; consent agenda approved and growth policy adoption noted
Summary
Council members reviewed a KLJ update with roughly 300 photos showing ongoing work (substantial completion not yet reached), approved the consent agenda, and noted an upcoming adoption of the growth policy. A visitor, Ezra Graham, praised recent Colstrip improvements.
Council members received a progress update from KLJ showing field observations and photographic documentation; the council was told some work is complete but that substantial completion remains outstanding and may take a couple more weeks. The council also approved the consent agenda and discussed an upcoming growth-policy adoption.
"This was an update by KLJ that they sent to me, Friday afternoon," a council member said, noting the consultant made observations and took about "300 pictures" documenting work in progress. The speaker said that while some tasks remain, the consultant and contractor are "on top of it" and projected a short remaining timeline for finishing outstanding items.
The council also confirmed approval of the consent agenda, which included minutes from the Sept. 9 regular meeting, claims and payroll summaries. That motion was made, seconded and approved with no extended debate recorded.
Separately, a council member relayed that writer Ezra Graham visited Colstrip and was "really impressed" with recent community improvements — parks, new paving and chip seal work — and thanked staff and council for their efforts.
Members flagged an upcoming agenda item for adoption of the growth policy; one council member said the most recent packet omitted pages containing Michelle's notes and that only numeric updates remain before the package is complete. The transcript does not specify a date for the growth-policy adoption.
The meeting adjourned after other business.
